Oohhs and Aahhs Restaurant Opening Soon

Heads-up FGC members. Last week, I was told by a store rep who was accepting job applications for the restaurant that Saturday, May 6 will the the Grand Opening date for the Oohs and Aahs restaurant in the Walmart building. The soul food restaurant will be located between Walmart’s main entrance and the credit union. According to the Washington Business Journal it will be “a new 85-seat, full-service restaurant.” If the Georgia Avenue restaurant measures up to the U Street store, the menu will include foods like chicken, fish, collard greens and as advertised, the ‘“Best Macaroni and Cheese“ awarded by Washingtonian Magazine.’ Reportedly, the restaurant will also have a carryout. From what I saw this morning, workers are going to have to hustle to meet Saturday’s deadline. Let’s hope for the best.
